Ultimate list of Internet marketing humor sites

I’m pretty convinced that one day we’ll all communicate exclusively by animated GIFs and memes. At Raven, we’re one step ahead of the curve on this – we’ve already created an entire Yammer channel devoted to them.

But who can blame us? We’re truly in a Golden Age when it comes to this modern art form, and the Internet marketing world is no exception. A proliferation of fun Tumblrs and meme sites have grown up around the industry lately, and they’re great for a bit of comic relief in the midst of algorithm updates and SEO infighting.

Here are some of the funny sites we’ve discovered and a sample of what you’ll find there. Know about others? Let me know and I’ll add them onto the list.

SEM/PPC

Social media

Corporate Twits
See where the trolls play with this site, which records how big brands deal with bizarre (and fake) social media questions and complaints.

Klouchebag
If you want the opposite of Klout, you’re in the market for Klouchebag, which “measures how much of an asshat you are on Twitter.” I guarantee you’ll waste lots of time putting in your name and your friends’ names to figure out who the biggest Klouchebag is.

Internet marketing

Linkbait Generator
Need some viral content without having to, you know, have an idea and stuff? Head to the Linkbait Generator, where you can let the linkbait headlines wash over you. Plug in your own keywords for more specific headlines, like “8 ways men try using social media to get laid” or “10 thing SEO has in common with Satan.” I actually kinda want to read that last one.

WTF QR Codes
Chronicling some of the least thought-out uses of QR codes. (Really, on the back of that bottle?)

Spam Salad
Collecting the best in Internet spam, including poetic bon mots like this one:

“Your way of expressing ideas is cute!”

-Ciails

This Advertising Life
Sample post: “When a freelance client doesn’t know what they want and gets upset when I don’t know where to start.”
